Preface In 2019, European innovation looked primed for unprecedented growth. Startup Genome found that 14 of the world’s top 30 innovation ecosystems were European, while Sifted and Dealroom credited the region’s start-ups for creating over 2 million jobs and 10% of job growth. Factors across the board indicated that Europe was finally closing that gap in company valuation, the number of unicorns and even the amount of capital, while political support for both the digital and green agenda had taken priority with the European Commission.

  • THE JUNCKER COMMISSION: an Early Assessment
    THE JUNCKER COMMISSION: An Early Assessment John Peterson University of Edinburgh Paper prepared for the 14th Biennial Conference of the EU Studies Association, Boston, 5-7th February 2015 DRAFT: Not for citation without permission Comments welcome [email protected] Abstract This paper offers an early evaluation of the European Commission under the Presidency of Jean-Claude Juncker, following his contested appointment as the so-called Spitzencandidat of the centre-right after the 2014 European Parliament (EP) election. It confronts questions including: What will effect will the manner of Juncker’s appointment have on the perceived legitimacy of the Commission? Will Juncker claim that the strength his mandate gives him license to run a highly Presidential, centralised Commission along the lines of his predecessor, José Manuel Barroso? Will Juncker continue to seek a modest and supportive role for the Commission (as Barroso did), or will his Commission embrace more ambitious new projects or seek to re-energise old ones? What effect will British opposition to Juncker’s appointment have on the United Kingdom’s efforts to renegotiate its status in the EU? The paper draws on a round of interviews with senior Commission officials conducted in early 2015 to try to identify patterns of both continuity and change in the Commission. Its central aim is to assess the meaning of answers to the questions posed above both for the Commission and EU as a whole in the remainder of the decade. What follows is the proverbial ‘thought piece’: an analysis that seeks to provoke debate and pose the right questions about its subject, as opposed to one that offers many answers.

All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying and recording, or by any information storage and retrieval system. Preface Europe’s innovation ecosystems are growing more quickly than ever, and the continent has recently taken forward-looking steps to shape the future of innovation: last year’s regulations on protection and the free flow of non-personal data were a significant step by the European Union to provide a regional framework for dealing with data, protecting citizens and developing an effort to recognize the competitive nature of data-driven economies and the need to protect values and the rights of citizens. Despite this momentum, challenges for Europe remain. Large platform companies from Asia and North America are beginning to dominate emerging deep technologies. Europe is lagging in the digital transformation of industries key to its success in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It is also behind in investment in new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, where it captured only 11% of global Børge Brende, corporate investment and venture capital in 2016 compared to 50% in the United States and 39% in President and China.
